Is the end near?


***** Signs given by Jesus to his second coming ******
Matthew 24 verses:
4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you".
5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ' and will deceive many.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me".
10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12 Because of the increase of wickedness , the love of most will grow cold,
13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

The archer's faith


Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For by grace you have been saved through FAITH and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of GOD . Not by works so that no one could boast".

The bible clearly tells us that the only way to salvation is by faith alone. And that the object of faith is Jesus Christ . John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes on Him should not perish but have eternal life", the verse says that God loves us and He wanted us just to believe in Him so that we will have the eternal life. In John 14:16 "Jesus said, I am the way , the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me". Remember, God used "the way" instead of "a way". That denotes the fact that He alone is the only way to salvation. Not by religion, not by works, not by any person but by Him alone. In Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord ", the bible says that all of us will die as a penalty of our sins, but through the love of God, He gave us a wonderful gift (salvation). He sent His son for us. Salvation is a gift to be received not a goal to be achieved . Of course, we can't own the gift unless we receive it. Revelation 3:20 says that Christ is knocking at the door of our lives/hearts and that we need to invite Him in. Dear friend, Christ loves you, His grace is abundant to you. He is just waiting for you to come to Him, repent from your sins and believe that He alone could save you. I John 5:11-13 "And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in His Son(Jesus Christ). He that hath the Son (Jesus Christ) has the life ; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life. These things have I written unto you that you may know that you have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God". May God bless you...
